I have a great respect for the ancient Chinese culture, hopefully it will continue to grow for I'm aware and appreciate the tramendous depth it has to offer the world.
Ate at a restaurant in china town there and toured the house had the history of the town was yellow I belive learned alot great people hope go back one day take.care
It looks like it was filmed more recently to me. I’m sceptical to say the least. Old films of tai chi that I e see are never anywhere near this quality. If it is genuine then it was planned very well.
Thank you such much Master Wong. I watched this this morning and thought about the man in minute 3:08-6:56 all day long. Such an example of so many principles but for me especially "whole body" Is that Li Jingwu? It has inspired my own practice.
It would seem to me that this is compilation of morning exercise in several different parks and possibly over many years. If you closely observe the clothes and shoes worn by the practioners, you might agree. In the late 50's, people were really poor. They all wore MAO-STYLED UNIFORMS !
I was thinking the same thing but that is Chen Z. and I THINK that's Mrs. Sun doing Sun style? Could the film be scanned to DVD then fixed? Also be faked to what end?(RI, USA)
Hello friend, if the simplified form of 24 movements or the form of 24 of Beijing, was created in 1956 at the request of the Commission for Sport and National Physical Culture of the People's Republic of China by master Li Tian Ji, based on the traditional long form of the Yang style in an effort to popularize tai chi chuan.
Mr Chan Ka Lon: The person during half the footage, doing the 24 Peking form here is Li Jingwu. Li Tiang Ji created or helped developed the 24 but it is not the person depicted here. I enclose a link to Li Jingwu. taijineigong.com/li-jingwu-taijiquan/
ao fim de 11 anos finalmente encontrei a fonte, estou feliz e agradeço ao MESTRE Wu Yu-hsiang . Que ele onde quer que esteja , como esteja seu grande espírito, esteja em PAZ.
I agree with the post lower down. I don't believe this is from 1959, the video quality, camera angles, editing and lighting are just too good. Couple that with a very modern looking park bench, a T shirt logo that is just too good and footwear that also appears fairly modern. Having said that the Tai Chi is very interesting.
Provably remastered. The guy with the logo actually uses a very old fashioned pants to the waist. Besides, I've seen kung fu videos from the late 70's that look like from the early 90's. What I mean by this is, it might just be a very high quality film.
@@TheStrataminor You have yet to have some old master discharge into you. Shaolin when you are young, after 30 or so, it's Tai-Chi or Pa-Kua for real power. Hsing-I is dangerous, it has energy too, and is suspect is difficult to control. BTW, to get the power to discharge takes about 20 years.
@@TaiChiGhost Well I guess it depends what the goal is. Yes it is beautiful and there is more to life than fighting! I do love Taichi so thanks for posting this up!
So, is there factual evidence of Tai Chi before the late 1800's? I know the founder was accused of making up the style (at roughly that point in history). And 'liberating' the name *Tai Chi* from older, more fantasy style literature. As far as I know, all Major mainland Chinese styles were 're-invented' in the 1950's (then propaganda was used to claim they were far older). Tai Chi seemed to come out the oldest in these new arts, when researched by science, with parts (*possibly*) dating back to the 1800's. Sadly, due to bigotry in the martial scene, what I have stated above is denied (by some) ..but, anyone can do their own research (doing this away from the internet might help too ;) Peace.
Yes, there is evidence of the Chen village and recorded practitioners there who were into taichi about 350-400 years ago, with further evidence (actually documented chinese manuals) on how the founder of Chen taichi (Chen Wangting) put together the Chen routines from a Chinese military manual (as recorded in the Lee family history) that had martial art exercises for the battlefield. So definitely yes, Taichi is one of the more verified arts that have a fairly solid evidence behind it. No it wasn't devised by the immortal Chang San-feng who devised it. So still an old art, one that is fascinating and great to learn! (Sifu Hai Yang discusses the evidence of the Chen Taichi origins...and he knows what he is talking about, he is a no nonsense type of martial artist: th-cam.com/video/GiB2CsmU08Q/w-d-xo.html )
You just dont understand how to use it. Actually it is a really brutal combat system. There are no face punches, cos they are not dangerous enough! Instead, tai chi attacks first the throat and gouges the eyes whilst holding the opponent by the back of the neck. The thumb has to be pushed into the eye up to the second knuckle. Then the head is forced over to injure the neck. Done properly, tai chi is the most violent martial art of all. It is designed to maim or kill!
If you think that, then you haven’t started training ‘Tai chi’ yet. Unfortunately it’s become the most watered down, diluted art. Check out Adam Mizner on TH-cam. Touch with him and you’ll change your thinking.
@@martialartists4957 this is probably why I shouldn’t bother commenting on TH-cam clips. There are people out there who even label themselves ‘martial artists’ responding like school yard bullies. Mature discussion please.
An ordinary fighter who can kick and punch can not apply Kung fu in a real fight!! You must first developed a third eye that comes out naturally when yin and yang are balanced or physical and spiritual comes together. This time, fighting will just be instinct, feelings and your actions will be just a result of his actions, you don’t even need to know how he looks like. You will be just focusing on his movements, because it’s all about timing, speed and power!!! Sadly, these kind of fighters are gone! Now it’s just brute force and muscle and tattoos to scare him.
Grandmaster Jimmy Wong has some of my favorite Chi. I enjoy watching these old masters.
🙏
Excellent clear videography for something filmed in 1959. Wonderful to watch.
You are fortunate to have access to this footage. Thank you for sharing.

It's always good to see how things were and note where we are now. These old films are invaluable, thanks for posting. - subscribed.

Simply excellent. Thank you.

Absolutely Beautiful. We should be celebrating the gifts that our diversity offers.
🙏🙌
Beautiful Taiji...a glimpse of those days gone by! Thank you 🙏
Now they are gone, but their voices and art continue on. Although I am a Christian I still love this beautiful art and these masters were awesome.
🙏
Ate at a restaurant in china town there and toured the house had the history of the town was yellow I belive learned alot great people hope go back one day take.care
This was so beautiful in so many ways!!
Yes The art of silent in motion brings total awareness of mind and body to bring in absolute power of spirituality.
Now that was kindly refreshing.

It was filmed back then
Rare and precious video helpful to the beginners and advancers for reference to see the differences between generations. 🙏
Yes🙌
Thank you for sharing this helps keep me motivated in my practice
🙌
Well that was quite a gathering of important masters in the park that day, what a stroke of luck someone had a camera.
Beautiful !!!
🙏
So wonderful 💓
🙏
this video is beautiful in form and essence
🙌
Hermoso , gracias desde Sudamérica 🌈🌴☯️

Utterly mesmerising
🙌
Very Nice in many ways. Thanx! Will help stop brain buzzing (for me).
Thank you for posting. My teacher and myself both are from the Yang lineage of Wang Yong Quan (from 2:13 to 3:03) in Beijing.
Awesome
Thank you such much Master Wong. I watched this this morning and thought about the man in minute 3:08-6:56 all day long. Such an example of so many principles but for me especially "whole body" Is that Li Jingwu? It has inspired my own practice.
🙌
Wu, Chen, Yang, Sun Style.....except Wudang Tai Chi...all are appeared..thx for the video🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇
Strong and beauty for the soul
Very authentic video indeed and similar to the way I learned mine from the old masters
🙌
Beautiful.
🙏
It would seem to me that this is compilation of morning exercise in several different parks and possibly over many years. If you closely observe the clothes and shoes worn by the practioners, you might agree. In the late 50's, people were really poor. They all wore MAO-STYLED UNIFORMS !
Yes poor but nothing stop them from practicing the Grand Art
If you do this exercise you are NOT poor ! Thanks !@@MasterJimmyWongWuHaoTaiChi
Happy to see a very young Chen Zhaokui!.This had to be Tiantan park!
Thank you
Very nice Video, thank you,
and I was hoping a few more Seconds of Chen Zhaokui could apear
🙏🙌
1:30 陳照奎, 2:05 孫劍雲, ....
if I'm not mistaken in the video is young Chen Zhaokui, the third son of Chen Fake
请教一个问题：太极拳共有多少式？谁知道？

That’s beautiful footage. Thank for sharing with us, Sifu. I hope you are doing well.
You are welcome. Hope you doing great and stay safe
wow! exquisite
🙏
very Cool
🙌
Beautiful
🙏
Such good video quality; it's like they are doing it in front of me now.
I wish there were videos of Tian Zhaolin also.
🙌
Smooth... What does that feel like?
Awesome
This video quality is too good for 1950s. It is impossible.
I agree. It’s fake and posted my doubts. Glad I’m not the only one who can see what is very obviously fake.
I was thinking the same thing but that is Chen Z. and I THINK that's Mrs. Sun doing Sun style? Could the film be scanned to DVD then fixed? Also be faked to what end?(RI, USA)
In 1959? There was already Yang 24 fist style?

Thank you for your information
Great gymnastics for elderly.
100% Motivador

thank you Master Jimmy Wong for your intention
Thank you and if you suggestion of other videos please let us know n we will go find them n post
Half of the footage is Master Li Tian Qi (李天骥). Also Sun style Master Sun Juan Yun(孫劍雲)， Chen style Master Chen Zhao Kui(陈照奎).

This is Li Tianji. th-cam.com/video/cZOMoM-lAEs/w-d-xo.html
Marvelous to see the movement, not too full yet not devoid of motion for dogmatic reasons. That's how I practice.
🙏
Wow visually Meditational

Way of the xian! Some are probably still there practicing!
Pray that they are...🙏
There is no rules stating tai chi must be done slowly ... .
👍agreed
Это действительно 59. ???
👍👍👍
🙏
👍
La 24 già codificata a quel tempo ???
Slightly puzzled - obviously filmed with quite high production values, doesn't look at all like something from 1959.
Not enough Wu Style in there for me. All I could spot was the guy (name?) doing Jade Girl Works Shuttles right at the start. Anyone seen any more?
CHINA ES NUESTRA MADRE, HOY PADECE EL SOCIALISMO Y EL CAPITALISMO.
`59 was about the time when as many Masters that could scattered to mountain refuges or go out to escape Mao and the bloodthirsty Red Guard.
Daoistify, 你胡說八度，毛主席是所有武術家的偶像，shut your stupid mouth.
Too many styles mixed up here. The old man with bear was practice chi(養氣還原） not tai chi.
Yo this isn't just some.randoms practicing in the park. These are masters.

soft like a mess mellow, this is a dancing exercse
It's traditional chinese dance for man & women.
